"WILL WORK FOR FOOD" MAY WELL BECOME THE MANTRA FOR FOOD STAMP RECIPIENTS IN NEW MEXICO. THE STATE HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT IS LOOKING INTO TAKING PART IN THE FOOD STAMP WORK DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM THAT REQUIRES RECIPIENTS TO WORK 20 HOURS A WEEK. DEPARTMENT SECRETARY SIDONIE SQUIER TOLD A CONGRESSIONAL PANEL LAST WEEK THAT SHE'S PRETTY SURE THE STATE WILL GET INVOLVED WITH THE PROGRAM.
THOSE 20 HOURS OF WORK CAN BE MET BY EITHER GETTING AN ACTUAL JOB … TAKING PART IN ON-THE-JOB TRAINING … OR DOING COMMUNITY SERVICE.
